The Pure-Pak® eSense is an aluminium-free carton, and contains a polymer-based barrier which reduces carbon footprint and enables simplified recycling.
It simplifies the recycling process as the new polyolefin structure enables a one operation separation of the fibers and the polyolefin layers, and the polyolefin material does not contain value reducing elements. Furthermore, the carton is designed with easy folding crease lines, which help consumers to empty all the product inside before folding the carton for more convenient recycling while reducing food waste.
The unique polyolefin-based barrier structure also unlocks the potential of a fully renewable aseptic carton. The new barrier replaces the aluminium layer yet retains rigidity, so performance is not compromised. This results in up to 50% lower carbon footprint than a standard aseptic carton.
Pure-Pak® eSense- Benefits
Easier recycling process
The cartons contain no aluminium, which reduce the recycling efforts – as there is one less layer to remove. Thus, there is less residue from used cartons that requires disposal or further recycling, reducing the energy used and increasing the quality of the remaining recycled materials.
Lower carbon footprint
With no aluminium the carton unlocks the potential to provide a fully renewable aseptic pack. It is a lighter carton and has up to 50% lower carbon footprint than standard aseptic cartons*.
Easy folding lines
The carton is designed with easy folding crease lines, which help consumers to empty all the product inside before folding the carton for more convenient recycling while reducing food waste.
